Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 484, Growth, Life, Happiness, and Friends
Mikoto Ishihara's new discovery caught the attention of Muneyuki Uesugi.

Insect eggs?

Mikoto, you've spotted the blind spot!

“Very good, very good.” Uesugi Muneyuki carefully flipped through the documents in his hands; however, this time it truly touched upon a blind spot in his knowledge.

He can communicate with the dead, but can he communicate with insect eggs?
It's very blue!
"Mikoto-nee, do you know about insect egg technology?" Uesugi Muneyuki asked casually.

Mikoto Ishihara was amused by Muneyuki Uesugi's reaction. The forensic beauty put her hands on her hips and couldn't help but give Muneyuki a charming eye roll: "I'm asking you, not you asking me, Muneyuki! Do I look like someone who knows entomology?"

"Not really." Uesugi Muneyuki nodded with a wry smile: "You're not South Korea's Minister Kim."

Minister Kim? What's that? Ishihara Mikoto didn't understand, but she really didn't intend to chat with Uesugi Muneyuki. After thinking for a moment, Ishihara Mikoto decided to say to Uesugi Muneyuki, "Uesugi, I have studied in the United States and Canada. In the United States and Canada, new derivative disciplines have emerged, such as forensic entomology and forensic pollen science."

“This insect egg could very well be the key to unlocking the secrets of Imazaki, Sugawara, and Nakai’s deaths! But… it seems neither you nor I know much about this… perhaps we need other forces to help us.” Ishihara Mikoto crossed her arms and said with a troubled expression, “But the problem is, will anyone in Japan actually know anything about this?”

“I think it’s very difficult.” Uesugi Muneyuki looked at the existing report several times and shook his head repeatedly.

The three East Asian countries have a strong tradition of involution, especially due to the historical influence of practical application and limited resources. People tend to learn knowledge that can be "used," and therefore tend to be relatively weak in other less important disciplines that do not have political or economic value.

There is a famous saying, "Poverty breeds talent," which means that many famous poets often began to develop other abilities after experiencing setbacks in their official careers or becoming disheartened. I won't give specific examples here, but you can understand the meaning.

Japan's forensic medicine is particularly weak, even the least valued among the three East Asian countries. Even at the University of Tokyo, the country's top university, forensic medicine is the worst and least desirable subject in medical school.

It was only in recent years, with the rise of Uesugi Muneyuki, that people realized the role of forensic medicine. However, in reality, no forensic medicine student can learn Uesugi Muneyuki's skills—heaven knows how Uesugi-san managed to understand the entire crime process and the specific cause of death just by examining a corpse!

"Alright, it's getting late. You should go home and get some rest." Ishihara Mikoto was just telling Uesugi Muneyuki about this when she suddenly smiled knowingly: "Your fiancée has come to the front lines herself! You should spend some time with her!"

"Aren't you coming along, Mikoto-nee?" Uesugi Muneyuki stared intently at the forensic beauty before her and blinked.

"Heh, I'm not at the age where I like to act young anymore, or... are you begging me?" Ishihara Mikoto chuckled and patted Uesugi Muneyuki on the shoulder: "Go on, go on, I'll find another time. I won't bother you, your Minami, or your master."

After saying that, Mikoto Ishihara turned and left with a swaying gait.

This woman possessed a unique allure. Although she didn't have the figure of Reina Ikeda, nor the charming naiveté and refined demeanor of Miss Minami, she had a natural charm in her eyes and brows. Every smile and frown seemed to sparkle with a vibrant energy. Combined with her serious and responsible career woman aura, even in a white coat and simple autopsy attire, this forensic beauty was incredibly alluring.

Not to mention that the professional knowledge and specific anatomical skills of the forensic beauty can be a very powerful complement to Uesugi Muneyuki. No matter how bizarre the inferences that Uesugi Muneyuki puts forward after the autopsy, Ishihara Mikoto can find sufficient scientific evidence to explain them.

Unfortunately, Mikoto has completely given up on marriage and love.

Uesugi Muneyuki thought to himself as he watched her retreating figure.

If Mikoto had returned to his side a few years earlier, he would have seriously considered marrying her.

But now... all I can do is give her the best.

As for having children, Mikoto is also firmly against it, because she is at a crucial moment in her career advancement. She has had enough of giving up her career at Osaka University to become a school doctor because of marriage, and in the end, she lost both her career and her marriage. She does not want to go through that again under any circumstances.

Besides, doesn't she already have a daughter? (laughs)

Uesugi Muneyuki stared blankly at Mikoto's retreating figure for a while before returning to his hotel room.

Once the Metropolitan Police Department's Special Investigation Headquarters is established, the police officers who join the headquarters will directly move into nearby public facilities, which may be staff dormitories, sleeping on the floor inside the police station, or nearby hotels that cooperate with the Metropolitan Police Department. In short, it is difficult to go home except to get a change of clothes. Generally, only police officers who live within a 15-minute drive of the headquarters are allowed to go home to rest, but their mobile phones must be turned on 24 hours a day.

No wonder the professional team doesn't want to go to the Metropolitan Police Department; it's just too tiring.

However, Uesugi Muneyuki has a special status. As a specially appointed person of the Metropolitan Police Department, he is now entitled to a travel expense reimbursement of 25000 yen per day for business trips, including 18000 yen for accommodation and 7000 yen for meals and transportation.

Upon opening the hotel room door, Miss Minami immediately jumped out of bed: "Zongxue, you're back? How did things go?"

"This is difficult. Mikoto and I discussed it, and we realized that there's probably not a single person in all of Japan who understands forensic entomology." Uesugi Muneyuki took off his coat and tie, which Minami took and hung on the hanger. The sound of showering could be heard from inside the bathroom; it was clear that Erina was taking a shower.

A while later, Erena came out of the shower. The tall beauty was rubbing her hair with a towel. Since there was no one else in the room, Erena was just wearing a loose nightgown, which revealed her miraculously perfect figure with huge breasts, a wasp waist, and long legs. In particular, the high neckline and her two long, white legs, like jade pillars, were so dazzling that it was hard to look away: "Any results? Muneyuki, Minami?"

"No, I didn't expect to encounter a forensic problem that even Muneyuki and Ishihara don't understand." Miss Minami looked at Erina's stunning figure with envy in her eyes.

Rena Ikeda, swinging her long, jade-like legs, habitually leaned onto Muneyuki Uesugi's back, while Minami sat on Muneyuki Uesugi's lap. The three of them snuggled together, their relationship incredibly harmonious and natural.

"If we're talking about the US, I remember that the University of Tokyo and MIT have a lot of medical collaborations... If we could find MIT to ask for their help..." Uesugi Muneyuki tried to operate the computer.

"Alright, alright, Zongxue, I'll do it." Miss Minami smiled and took his big hand in her small one, whispering in his ear, "I came here specifically to find you, not for this."

Uesugi Muneyuki narrowed his eyes and smiled meaningfully, "Are you sure you can get up early tomorrow?"

"I'm not participating in the investigation anyway, so I might as well sleep a little longer. It's Inspector Higurashi who's the Special Investigations Chief anyway." Minami gently bit his finger, her delicate tongue tracing its calluses, then she gently placed his large hand on her beautiful black-stockinged legs: "Your hand should be here!" *Hiss~*
Uesugi Muneyuki swallowed hard, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Then you'd better hold back later!"

Well!
Miss Minami panicked a little and quickly gestured to Erina behind her.

"Your Excellency, the young master Ikeda! Come immediately to protect me!"

Erina understood immediately, chuckled, got up from Uesugi Muneyuki's back, opened her suitcase, and took out a pair of Polish Marilyn series 20D velvet pearlescent pantyhose.

"You can't do it without me!" Erena said confidently.

And so, in the quiet hotel room, the laptop screen reflected Watanabe Minami's fair and delicate face, a faint blush on her cheeks. She sat in the man's lap, using a search engine to find information, her teeth clenched as if she were enduring something.

Uesugi Muneyuki, however, smiled and gave instructions to Minami-san, but was actually doing other bad things.

After a while, Minami's eyes shimmered with water, misty and alluring.

"Have it!"

She pointed tremblingly at the entry and exit information and check-in information provided by the police for their assistance in the investigation.

Information about a Japanese-American scholar was displayed on the screen.

Kenji "Ken" Tanaka is a forensic scientist at MIT, specializing in forensic entomology. He is currently a visiting scholar in Tokyo (actually on vacation). He is a third-generation Japanese American, and his grandfather immigrated to the United States during World War II.

Opening his personal social media account, his signature consists of only one line.

"Growth, life, happiness, and friends~"

“Great!” Uesugi Muneyuki saw the recent activity on his social media account. Sure enough, he was in Tokyo and staying at the Peninsula Hotel.

"Hoo~" Minami, breathing heavily, collapsed into Uesugi Muneyuki's arms and said contentedly, "We'll visit him tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you, Manager Minami! To show my gratitude, I'm going to give you a big reward!" Uesugi Muneyuki nodded with a smile, pulling Minami and Erina into his arms: "Here you go~"

"Ugh~ Ikeda, let's get him! Let's all go together!"

"I'm coming, I'm coming!"

————This is the dividing line for discussing him————

The next morning, at the Peninsula Hotel in Tokyo, Tokyo.

In the spacious and bright breakfast restaurant of the Peninsula Hotel, a 40-year-old man with tanned skin, dyed blond hair, and a muscular physique was enjoying his breakfast. He spoke American English with a lot of slang, which scared many Japanese people away from him.

The middle-aged man didn't seem to care. He laughed heartily and kept muttering some words.

"Flowers, trees, sky, breeze, clouds, sun, rainbow, ocean, beach, forest, pebbles, gravel, earth."

Three generations have passed since his ancestors immigrated to the United States. He had long forgotten his Japanese, but he still remembered these few words. His grandfather taught him these words when he took him back to Tokyo as a young child in the late 1980s to trace his roots.

So... after more than 20 years, Tokyo... hasn't changed at all!

The middle-aged man thought to himself, "What it was like more than 20 years ago is still the same now!"

Is Japan completely stagnant?

"Flowers, trees, sky, breeze, clouds, sun, rainbow, ocean, beach, forest, pebbles, gravel, earth." He recited this mantra again, completely ignoring the speechless looks from those nearby.

Is this guy even Japanese? Doesn't he realize he's causing trouble for others?

However, the middle-aged man didn't care at all.

Me? I've been an American for a long time!

Just then, a cool-looking young man in a suit and tie came up in front of him.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Kenji Tanaka from MIT?"

"I need your help!"
